Armadillo Control for Bradenton Homes

Reliable, Humane Solutions to Protect Your Property

At Westfall's Lawn and Pest Control, we understand how much care Bradenton homeowners put into their yards and gardens. When armadillos start digging through the lawn, that hard work can quickly unravel. Their burrowing doesn’t just leave behind holes and overturned soil — it can damage plant roots, disturb irrigation systems, and even affect the stability of patios or walkways. Our team knows how disruptive that can be, and we’re here to help you reclaim your outdoor space quickly and safely.

For more than 20 years, our family-owned company has helped local homeowners handle wildlife problems with professionalism and care. We take a humane approach to armadillo removal, using proven methods to safely relocate the animal and prevent future activity around your home. Because we live and work in the Bradenton area too, we understand the local environment and what it takes to protect your property for the long run.


If you’ve noticed digging or damage around your yard, call Westfall's Lawn and Pest Control at (941) 231-7285 or fill out our contact form to schedule an inspection.


Our Professional Armadillo Control Process in Bradenton

Our approach is based on a deep understanding of armadillo behavior and the unique conditions here in Bradenton. These animals are skilled diggers that can cause extensive damage to lawns, gardens, and underground systems as they search for food. Our process focuses not just on removing the immediate problem but on keeping your property protected over time.

We provide a thorough, transparent service built around effective results and clear communication. When you choose Westfall's Lawn and Pest Control, you can expect:

▶️ Thorough Inspections: We start by identifying signs of armadillo activity, such as burrow entrances, digging patterns, and damage areas, to determine the full scope of the problem.

▶️ Targeted Treatments: Our team uses safe trapping methods designed to capture and relocate armadillos without harm, minimizing disruption to your property.

▶️ Preventative Guidance: After removal, we offer tailored recommendations to make your yard less appealing to armadillos, from soil and landscaping adjustments to sealing access points.

▶️ Ongoing Communication: From the first inspection to final follow-up, we keep you informed every step of the way so you always know what’s being done to protect your property.

Our process begins by turning the results of our inspection into a strategic removal and prevention plan. We also assess environmental factors, such as soil conditions, landscaping features, or nearby construction, that may attract armadillos. By addressing these underlying causes, we provide a more sustainable, long-term solution for your property.

Our goal is to restore the health and appearance of your yard. We tackle the immediate armadillo activity while equipping you with practical guidance and preventive measures to keep your outdoor spaces safe, beautiful, and protected year-round, giving you lasting peace of mind.

Signs of Armadillo Activity in Bradenton

Armadillos can quietly cause a lot of damage before you even notice. Spotting the signs early is the best way to protect your lawn, garden, and landscaping.

  • Small, Conical Holes: Look for 3–5 inch deep, irregular holes scattered across soft soil areas, a classic sign of foraging.
    Shallow Trenches: Armadillos often dig shallow channels while searching for insects, leaving your lawn uneven.
    Uprooted Plants and Flower Beds: Plants or vegetables pulled from the ground may indicate armadillo activity.
    Patchy, Dug-Up Lawn Areas: Soft, uneven soil or clusters of small holes show frequent digging.
    Tracks and Footprints: You might see four-toed footprints in soft soil or mud near digging sites.
    Scrapes or Loose Soil Near Foundations or Driveways: Armadillos sometimes dig close to structures in search of insects.

Even a single armadillo can create dozens of feeding holes, and damage can spread quickly. Early detection makes controlling the problem easier and prevents further destruction.

If you notice these signs around your Bradenton property, Westfall's Lawn and Pest Control can help. We’ll identify the problem, assess the extent of the activity, and implement a safe, effective plan to protect your yard.

Beyond Removal: Protecting Your Lawn From Future Damage

Our work doesn’t stop once the immediate armadillo problem is resolved. A key part of our service is giving you the knowledge and tools to keep your property protected long-term. We focus on proactive strategies to make your yard less inviting to future armadillo activity.

Here are some practical steps we often recommend:

  • Smart Landscape Management: Keep grass and vegetation trimmed to reduce cover that attracts armadillos. Using dense groundcover plants can also make digging more difficult.
  • Physical Barriers for Sensitive Areas: For gardens or flower beds, installing underground wire mesh or fencing can protect roots and plants without chemicals.
  • Regular Monitoring: Check your yard frequently for signs of new digging. Spotting early activity allows for quicker action before damage spreads.

During our visit, we provide recommendations tailored to your property’s layout and environment. Our goal is to leave you with a yard that’s not only armadillo-free but also equipped with strategies to stay that way.
